If humans can have plastic electronics inserted to regulated their hearts, steel to replace bone, why can’t we simply have wigs surgically attached to us when balding?

Because we sweat through our heads; permanently putting a cover on that would be a really bad idea.

Ever spent a lot of time around someone with cancer? Wigs wear out before long.

That’s essentially what a hair transplant is, but without the extra cap matrix — the hair plugs get put directly into the skin.

Isn’t that what hairplugs are?

There are hair systems that get glued on your head and they look really good. Google for an old photo of Elon Musk and then a more recent photo. He didn’t regrow his hair.

As far as surgical implantation, that would be a waste. The hair is not alive, it breaks and wears out. You would end up bald again but would have gone through the pain/trouble of surgery instead of spending a couple hours a month at a specialty hair salon.

So you mean a hair transplantation?

We do, it is called hair transplant surgery. Why go through a more intense procedure for a wig that will wear out over time, when you can get real growing hair?

Hair transplant is already very cutting edge. In first world countries, it costs around $10k-$20k, they are pricing it per graft. Search for Artas FUE. Look at Elon Musk or Rooney for results.
